Question

A scooter maintains a pace of 1.45 minutes per mile, with fuel economy of 85 miles per gallon. How many seconds can it travel on 145 mL of fuel under these conditions?

Answer 1

283 seconds

Explanation:

The computation of the number of seconds would it travel is as follows

Pace is

`(1.45\ minute)/(mile)= (87\ seconds)/(mile) \\\\Fuel\ economy = (85\ mile)/(gallon)`

The volume of fuel = 145 ml = 0.0383 gallon

Now from 145 ml of the scooter fuel would be

=
`(85\ mile)/(gallon) * 0.0383\ gallon`

= 3.255 mile

Now time for travel is

=
`(87\ sec)/(mile) * 3.255\ mile\\`

= 283 seconds
